sunny and 3 degrees

How is it sunny, not a cloud in the sky, AND 3 DEGREES?  It can't be normal.  Does anything grow in 3 degrees?  I know I don't.  I'm a hermit.  You'll be lucky to see the whites of my eyes looking into the house.  I'll have a stocking hat, blanket and possibly a snow mobile suit on.  :)

Just for giggles, I searched "the coldest place on earth".  No surprise, it's Antarctica.  Did you know that the coldest temperature on record there is NEGATIVE ONE-HUNDRED and TWENTY-NINE degrees.  That's BELOW ZERO folks. (129).  -129.  Yuck.  You won't see me traveling that far south any time soon.

red light, green light

This probably shouldn't make a great day, but it definitely helps make a good day.

Yesterday, I hit every green light.  I'm not saying - every green light on my way to the store - or - every green light coming home from work.  I'm saying YESTERDAY I hit EVERY green light.  All day.  Not once did I have to stop or even break for a yellow or red light.  Come on...that's got to account for something on a good day, right?

On a side note, how long can this cold really last?  Dammit.

sick sick sick

There may be nothing worse for a singer than getting a cold.  Argh!  Especially one that won't go away.  I've got that fine-during-the-day-but-sick-as-a-dog-at-night cold.  Sucks. 

I think what I'll do is drink it off today.  Yeah, tonight at my show I'm going to get crunk.  :)  Well...maybe that won't happen, but if things aren't better tomorrow, I WILL be drinking for the Packer game.  Jello shots for everyone.

GO PACK!!!

best neighbors ever

I think I'm a good neighbor, in as much a musician can be a good, noise-ordinance-adhering neighbor, but I am a shadow compared to my Richard Street friends.  Serious. 

I woke up today just shy of 10:30 - yeah, life is rough - and the mere 1 inch of snow didn't stop my neighbor, Jay, from shoveling my sidewalk for me.  He does this because I let him cut down a tree-like bush that was growing near his driveway.  The threat of his freshly paved driveway being uprooted is what warranted the lumber jacking. 

So, to summarize, neighbor recognized a potential foundation-cracking problem. Neighbor submitted a resolution proposal. Neighbor executed the resolution, and I, in my infinite wisdom, may wind up reaping the benefits of infinite snow removal.

Yeah, my neighbors are the best.
